I'm rockin' the stock black chromated screws with no ill effects.

I saw daylight under the center post screw through the wire catch hole while it was screwed down all the way. There's no way it was going to secure a single pair of wires, maybe not even a twisted pair. It was pretty significant. I ended up using a grub screw on the center post, borrowed from one of my Zenith's.

Nothing against the composition of the screws but it would have been better to go a little longer and with a screw head design better suited for catching/securing the wire.

No worries though, It's working great. I'm tempted to get another one.

The specs say you are correct - mine is pregnant or been dropped a few times!

In its favour - you can still slide a Reo door up using one. I cannot do that with anything bigger. Oh, and i do have to use the smaller RxW with it.

Try the 3mm RxW through a 2.65mm coil. Install that bugger slightly slanted. Works very well.

Merry Christmas.

Anyone know a reputable vendor to purchase an Atomic clone from?

Madvapes. I am pretty sure it's an EHPro. The post screws are rubbish though. Get some M2.5x4mm SS set screws or get it modded by Tom. You will like it, I am sure.

Merry Christmas

I would be interested in a N22 as well. But that would be after new year's. Also I would like to couple it up with a marquis if we have news by then.
